LPA disclosed the purpose of the inspection and was granted entrance into the Center. LPA toured the Center and observed 64 children under the supervision of 12 staff members. LPA determined, through accessing Guardian, that 3 of the adults staff members were not associated to the facility's license and 1 additional staff member was not background cleared nor associated to the license. As a result, 1 deficiency was cited on a subsequent 809-D page.
